Why hasnt anyone viewed my question.

I did all the things on the FAQ and yet still no one has viewed my question about the wave equation. Why is this?

Maybe because you posted it half an hour ago. You need to be more patient, since no-one is paid to help you with your homework here: those that do are generously giving up their free time to help out students.

I don't think the viewing stat updates in real time so people probably have viewed it.

All help here is voluntary, and there are some pretty important (US) football playoff games tonight. Perhaps people haven't seen your question yet. If you have a question (especially a complex one) post it as early as you can, so that you will have time to ask follow-ups and clarify. If you are a student or researcher with some time constraints, this is especially important.

If you see a request for help on a Sunday night (especially with "urgent", "asap" etc in the title line) it does not motivate helpers to educate students who have put off their homework until the last moment. I'm not saying that this is your situation, but it is a very common occurrence here, and the pattern is discouraging.

I understand that people are only helping voluntarily. It is just a bit frustrating watching new topics popping up at the top which get replies very quickly and then watching my topic move further and further down the page.

Be honest with yourself, if you can. When did you know that you needed help, and when did you ask for help, and when did you know that your responses might be time-sensitive? There are lots of VERY helpful people here, but please understand that they have lives, and they don't need to jump into action if you have procrastinated.

People respond to posts they feel like giving their time to.

I don't think you really understand the meaning of "helping voluntarily."

Sorry, I looked over your question but I didn't know how to help or even how to answer it myself, and I'd be willing to bet that others who have viewed your problem are in the same boat as me.
